First, and most important, we will still be operating out of HyperLobby. As Jiri has announced last week, IL-2 Sturmovik will be made compatible with HL as soon as he obtains a version of the game to work from. This is important because it means we will not be operating near the II/NJG11. Unfortunately, this also means we will be operating in close vicinity with the old HL community as a whole, representing a smaller populous of players to recruit from.

IL2 is launched today!

The semi-finished newsletter for the month of December was posted early this morning

by Dave, who graciously spent much time writing out the details. Take a look at the

Trying to pull things together again.... See you later, I'm going to lobby...

Got back from work late as I expected, but before I go off to bed I decided to update the

site for good measure.

Important News here! I am tentatively scheduled to accompany a trip to the U.S.S.

Constitution for a 10-day overnight stint (this is with the same group as for the boot

camp, which ended one week ago to the day). The dates will be from August 10th -

August 21st, the first "day" being in transit. This, however, may change as I am still

trying to make my paychecks catch up with the two lost at bootcamp!

I'll keep you posted.

I've signed up for YahooGroups, which is now part of the Member's Site.

I've done a whole lot of researching on the NJG 11's past. Tomorrow I'm working late until

9:30, so I don't think I'll be doing much of anything in repect to the site until Friday.

I recovered photos that an ex-squad member sent in, but a few still need to be cropped

and converted to JPG format, so that should be a bit of work there.

Having problems with doubled-up names after launching into a game. Started today for

no apparent reason, which leads me to think it's caused by some kind of virus (which I

wouldn't doubt the existence of on my computer).

I've simplified the recruitment page's steps by quite a bit, and I'm working on several pages

in addition to the ones here on the main site. As you can see, the Staff site has also been

added with a similar password protection system.

As always, any suggestions you might have are always welcome!

The NJG is back up and running for the first full day since it was decomissioned. Thanks to

all those who assisted with the process of reincarnating the squadron.

Anyone who is from the original: know that there is always... always a place for you here,

and we'd love to have you back anytime.

The site is up on the web, running at just about full speed--all within an amazing 27 hours.

I would like to thank the following people for their recent assisstance in the creation of the

"Second Phase" NJG:

Passat (former, and hopefully returning, NJG)

Preussen (former, and hopefully returning, NJG)

The Area52 Design Team

Thank You!!!

I'm currently working on making a new boardroom page, and several more options for co-

mmunications between members.

See you in the skies,

Kaiser

The NJG 11 Website re-design is proving to be a significant project, with several designs, upgrades, and ideas in mind. Many members have contribted to the effort through user feedback, which should help us to be a better squadron overall when the recruitment process begins again.

We expect the NJG 11 to be running at full throttle by August 5th at the very latest.
